  • Guys, there's simply no way of truly judging the tonal quality of a guitar from a YOUTUBE recording.

  • @crunkykong / Thats right. And the recording was an fortuitous case, for everybody! There are better recordings on the site o f" ken parker archtops "

  • What's he doing when he adjusts the back of the guitar around 1.42?

  • @AlgebraicDnB / He is changing the action !

  • I think Sylvain is the only person to make this guitar sound good. I know I'm going to get flamed for this, but I've heard better sounding guitars that are about $1,000, as opposed to $30,000.

  • @LMA0NAISE

    You 'think' Sylvain Luc is the only person..... !

    I know he's not. You can see/hear more examples on ken's website> info.

    Enjoy

    And I played it myself... And I could make it sound !!! No, actually it's the other way around. It makes you a better player, it raises you skills.

  • @HendrixcommaMartin As you say for a guitar , an instrument who is hugely dominate by companies and mass production. Go to any Orchestra and you will see people play instruments with value of 100 k +. Sadly in guitar world construction and perfection adds less value than nostalgic felling.

  • @LMA0NAISE I totally agree. $30,000 is beyond ridiculous for ANY new guitar, let alone one that-- to my ears-- doesn't even sound that good. I'll cede that it sounds pretty great in this guys hands, though.

  • When I read his profile on wikipedia, I can't believe that HE IS NOT WIDELY RECOGNIZED .....

  • This guy is an alien!!!!

  • I think everyones comments regarding the quality of the guitar are really valid. It's true to say that it doesn't always sound like it's worth a lot of money, BUT I think there is a lot of clarity and detail in single notes and crispness in chord playing. I have heard other players playing this guitar and to me very few have made it sound good. Sylvain makes it sound incredible. It's obvious that it's very suited to his technique.

  • @LMA0NAISE Totally agree. This thing sounds terrible.
